The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing fear, it multiplies it.
Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate...
Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only Love can do that.
